Chamber Music Festival: Monuments

Cathedrals, monuments, grand lines: This is precisely what the evening "Monuments" at the Chamber Music Festival in Graz is all about. In the Minoriten Saal Graz, Johann Sebastian Bach's piano concertos take center stage, showcasing how powerful, clear, and vibrant this music still sounds today. For the festival anniversary, Irina Vaterl and Paul Gulda will perform three of these works together on harpsichord and piano. This creates an interplay that is dense, delicate, and full of movement. With Oberton+, the evening additionally gains that chamber music color that makes Bach's music particularly accessible in this context. The Minoriten Saal, with its calm and focused atmosphere, contributes to making the concert a harmonious cultural evening in Styria. Those who appreciate music with weight, form, and inner tension will find no loud effects here, but sound with character. This is precisely what makes "Monuments" so appealing: familiar works open new spaces when two keyboard instruments meet, and an ensemble like Oberton+ carries the lines. The concert takes place on August 8 and sets a strong accent in the festival summer between Bach, space, and the present. Tickets are available for online booking. An evening for all those seeking fine concert moments in Graz and wanting to discover the Graz experience region musically as well. Here are more dates for the Chamber Music Festival:
